Listening noises from your car often is never comforting, so listening noises on your Peugeot 3008 suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be stressful. This symptom may be a sign of a insignificant issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. In any case, it is important to check the origin and take the necessary actions to resolve the issue, it is with this aim in mind that we wanted to write this article to help you see more clearly. We will first see the possible causes for a crack when the speed bump passes, then, what can be the cause of a squeaking noise when a speed bump is being passed and finally what to do if you have another noise when a speed bump is passed.
Suspension cracking noise Peugeot 3008
Check Peugeot 3008 suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Peugeot 3008, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the cause of it. In fact, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its job during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To examine if this is the issue that concerns you, take a dented road and focus on the noise coming from your front axle as you circulate over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of swapping them as soon as possible or you may affect other parts and have to make more important fixes.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have looked for for “Peugeot 3008 suspension noise” and the suspension is not the cause of your problem, it may be that the cardan shaft is responsible. In fact, when the cardan bellows get old and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their operation is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a noise when they are in torsion. To examine this, you can try both types of torsion, first vertical with suspension compressions on the speed bump passages, and horizontal when you are going to make a turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two circumstances you should consider replacing it or them.

Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you experience a suspension noise when your Peugeot 3008 passes over a speed bumps, it is possible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Exactly like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you change direction. If this is the situation, the parts that may have been broken by usual wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the origins of your noises, to examine it, place it under the car and apply twists on each of its components to examine that there is no special play on one of them, they are expected to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Keep in mind to take your vehicle to your auto mechanic or change them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, however, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Peugeot 3008, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is involved. In fact, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause abnormal friction which can provoke this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to examine by passing under your car the condition of the paint on your bar which will indicate if there is friction. Second plausible explanation, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and create noise, in which case remove them from the cradle and grease them, this should eliminate the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last point that we can examine together, it is the engine silentblocks, in fact, these silentblocks operate as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the car, a evident weakness of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise occurs when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Peugeot 3008. To replace them go to your auto technician.

If, despite all its assumptions, you still can’t find the origin of the noise your Peugeot 3008 makes when you pass a speed bump, we advise you to consult this content on a loud noise on Peugeot 3008 or to visit your auto mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Peugeot 3008 and find this issue.
